Portabella Burgers With Balsamic And Blue Cheese Recipes

BALSAMIC-GLAZED PORTOBELLO BURGERS

Steps:

• Brush any dirt from the mushroom caps, remove the stems and reserve them for another use.
• Brush about half of the balsamic glaze onto the tops of the mushrooms, then set them aside while you sauté the onions.
• Separate the onions into rounds. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper.
• Sauté until the onions are soft, translucent and beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to a medium temperature (about 400°F).
• Oil the grates and add the mushrooms, gill side up.
• Grill for 3 minutes, then turn them over, brush with the rest of the balsamic reduction and grill until tender, about 3 minutes longer.
• Top each mushroom with a portion of blue cheese and cook just until the cheese begins to melt, 1 minute more.
• To serve, place a portion of onions on the bottom of each bun, add a cheese-topped portobello and serve immediately.

ROASTED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM BURGERS WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• 1. Lay the mushrooms on a greased baking sheet, gill sides up. Whisk together the garlic, sherry, 2 tablespoons of the oil and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Pour the mixture over the mushrooms. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• 2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Divide the cheese evenly among the mushroom caps. Roast until the mushrooms are fork-tender and the cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes. Reserve any cooking juices in the pan.
• 3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the onions and cook until charred and tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Add the spinach and the cooking juices from the mushrooms. Cook until just the spinach is wilted. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• 4. Place the mushrooms on the buns and top with the spinach and onions.
